The DPE Order dated 2-8-2021: Please click here ida-unfreeze.pdf
Calculation as per DPE method-new
March 2021 - 119.6 × 2.88 = 344.45 (119.6 is Index in new Series)
April 2021 - 120.1 × 2.88 = 345.89 (345.89 is Index in earlier Series)
May 2021 - 120.6 × 2.88 = 347.33
Total of 3 Months = 1037.67
Average of 3 months = 345.89
Increase over Link Point of 126.33: 345.89 - 126.33 =219.56
219.56 × 100 = 21956
21956 ÷ 126.33 = 173.8
Therefore we are entitled to 173.8 % IDA from 1st July, 2021 for which orders are to be issued. In the same way June index is 121.7 (2016=100) and if we convert it to 2001= 100 series it comes to 350.50
Earlier 2001 = 100 series Index figures were always in round figures. But while converting 2016 = 100 figures to 2001=100 with convertion factor of 2.88 DPE is taking upto two decimal Points. (Please see work sheet of DPE Orders)
[Above input is from Com. V V S Murthy, former AGS at Hyderabad.]
Earlier, the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers, on which our IDA rate is fixed, was based on a Series with 2001 point = 100. Now a new Series with base year 2016=100 point is adopted. And the AICP Index is published as per new Series. For those who continue in 2007 Pay Scales, the new Index in new Series has to be converted in to old Series by multiplying with a factor of 2.88. That is why 119.6 (new Series) is converted in to 344.45 (earlier Series.) For those CPSE employees who got pay revision from 1-1-2017 the IDA is increased from 18.4% to 23.2%. ...PSR

R Ramachandra Rao (70), Retd SDOP Eluru, former All India Vice President and former District Secretary of our West Godavari SSA Unit expired on 29-5-2021 due to Covid 19. He lost his second son on 12th May 2021 due to Covid19. Again, his wife is also infected by the disease and she is in hospital now.
Com. Rao went to a private hospital on 29th morning and he was directed to the Government hospital. He got admitted there and breathed last after few hours.
Com. Rao was one of the very dedicated leaders of lour Association. He took extra initiate to enroll all members as life members and West Godavari branch became the first major branch in the entire country to have 100% life members. Now the branch has 1000 life members.
Very energetic Com. Ramachandra Rao has been taking up individual cases of family pensioners with dedication, organizing charity activities on the Pensioners Day every year and relentlessly trying to strengthen our organization in West Godavari SSA.

Dear Comrades,
It is time for us to act immediately against discrimination. Please repeat the attached message in all the groups. Call upon all participants to send emails to the Minister. Some comrades may not know how to do it. Others can help them.
We thought of organizing a postcard campaign to the Prime Minister. But in the present situation nobody can go out to purchase cards. Sitting at home we can send emails. Thousands of emails should go to the Minister. Honourable minister should feel the concern of pensioners. Please do it before 18th of this month.
Email ID of the Communication Minister is moc-office@gov.in
At the bottom, add your name and address.
P Gangadhara Rao, GS
